Bolgart Primary School (5052)

School Overview


Bolgart Primary School is located in a small community in the Wheatbelt region of Western Australia, located an hour and fifteen minutes north-east of Perth.
At our school, we seek to ensure that our students develop Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) values in the following areas:
- Reach - the pursuit of knowledge and a commitment to the achievement of their full potential
- Resilience - the development of inner strength and grit
- Respect - self-acceptance and concern for others and their rights
- Responsibility - environmental, social and civic

We provide an inclusive learning environment for children from kindergarten through to Year 6 and have strong links to a very active Parent & Citizen (P&C) Association and School Council. Parent interaction in the school is encouraged and parents support activities such as assisting with the running of school events and sports days.

The school consists of two main classrooms, a library, an art room, administration block and a science, technology, engineering and mathematics classroom. All buildings are air conditioned. We have a basketball court, grassed areas, oval, two large playground climbing sets and landscaped gardens. Each classroom has a full-time teacher supported by Education Assistants where required.

The school operates with two main classes, a Kindergarten - Year 2 junior room and a Year 3 - 6 senior room. Kindergarten is integrated into the early childhood learning area ensuring an easy transition into compulsory schooling. Our kindergarten students attend two full days during the first semester on Tuesday and Thursday. They then attend three full days during the second semester on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday inclusive. We recently designed a new space in the school for Kindy (and Pre-Primary) students to engage in play-based learning activities, away from the regular K-2 classroom.

Our students engage in a wide and varied curriculum that is designed to meet the learning needs of each child. The curriculum is child-centred and supports students to work in a collaborative learning environment. All students are provided with rich, engaging learning experiences that cover all aspects of the Western Australian curriculum. The students participate in excursions and incursions throughout the year to support curriculum delivery and student understanding. The school is equipped with computer equipment including desktop computers, interactive screens, laptops and iPads in a ratio of 1:1. Each year students participate in swimming and athletics carnivals along with coaching clinics for tennis, basketball and football. Students showcase their artworks at the annual Toodyay Agricultural Show and their musical talents at the Small Schools Music Festival.

The strength of our school is the high level of parental involvement in all aspects of school life. The school council is consulted for policy making decisions and assists with the school's annual improvement and reporting processes. The P&C actively supports the learning programme of our students by purchasing resources and parents willingly contribute their time to support our students in many ways, some of which include listening to students read, assisting with camps and transporting students to/from special events.

We provide a warm, friendly and supportive environment where all students can access a first-class education. To find out more please call the school front office on 08 9627 5300.
